I think most TVs will list DLNA support in their spec list. One point I would make about smart TV's though, my sister has one of the Samsung E8000 series (I think it's this range) from about 2013 and they've just received a notification that Skype will no longer be supported, and therefore...

I've had the 2011 Naga for nearly 2 and a half years of near constant use and it's the best mouse i've ever brought, i will +1 for razer's drivers being really bad though, had more than my fair share of problems with those...

RT-AC68U is not a modem/router combo. The talktalk super router linked will indeed mean you can get rid of your white openreach box because it is a modem/router, if you're looking to have one piece of equipment you just need to look for a VDSL modem/router combo but as remixedcat and a few...

I was referring to Solaris' post. Conroer only has FTTC, I have only seen BT only do FTTC for residential connections and I doubt they would use home hubs for business users.

Or he could have paid for the privilege? Back on topic, OP there's a few graphs about for VDSL speed over distance, maybe this will help http://www.increasebroadbandspeed.co.uk/2013/chart-bt-fttc-vdsl2-speed-against-distance

I live in a high population density area of the UK and recently upgraded my connection to 10/100 Mbps for about $50 from 10/60 Mbps. While there is an alternate package available of 15/152 Mbps (Virgin Media) available it doesn't seem justified for the extra $20 cost. In response to OP's...

Came here to reiterate silkstones point of getting second hand equipment, two weeks ago brought a E8400 wolfdale (£13 eBay), LGA775 mobo (gifted from friend), 4gig DDR2 RAM (£20 friend) and a corsair 500w psu (£25 eBay). A lot of LGA775 stuff seems to be going cheap and is still very powerful...

If it's something you're serious about doing and have a bit of cash lying about build yourself a network 'lab'. If you're strapped for cash it doesn't have to be expensive, pick up some cheap computer parts to act as a server, it doesn't have to have double figure gigs of ram and the latest...

First I want to clear a few things up, if you're having problems with streaming on your PC unless you've got 100mpbs+ fiber connection to your house your router, unless malfunctioning, isn't going to be the bottleneck. Check the connection between this router (D-Link) and your cable modem...

Other than the obvious data caps/bandwidth drawbacks with mobile data usage the biggest one i found personally was the latency. It makes online gameplay close to unplayable when you have ping rates of around 400ms dependant on where you are in relation to mobile network masts. Unless your only...

I have been looking at this exact problem myself with the same range of numbers. I've found there are a wide range of choices and performance of the network very much depends on how much money you're willing to put into it. Our wifi consisted of a single modem/router and the devices were only...

Don't tell him the secret that the more network cards he gets the more he increases his external bandwidth!

I started writing a long winded version of this and you beat me to the post :laugh: I do like how he's posted insults in other threads than this, and then in this thread has put "Anyone who says "it's not possible" has no idea what they are talking about", clearly he should read up more on...

Hi all, I'm looking for an ADSL modem recommendation for a small business needs. Currently we have a DGN3500 ADSL modem/router that is doing the work for approximately 5-10 wireless devices and it's struggling (I gather this hardware isn't really designed for this sort of use) and i'm looking...

I don't mean to side with the professor on this but looking at the assignment you posted my first priority would be solving the fact that multi-gigabyte files can take several hours to transfer just between clients. As this would still be the issue even if you introduced a file-server, you've...
